I wasn't expecting much from this, despite it staring the best early route mammal, but it proved to be a wholesomely entertaining outing. Maybe it's due to the fact that, for once, the protagonists didn't just seem to want to help out of the goodness of their hearts. They had to help out the Bippa for their own benefit too. I guess the fact that they all had a common goal was what made this stand out from the usual filler stuff~
There were a lot of interesting animation & musical combinations that worked incredibly well this time around, and it helped make the entire ordeal seem all the more desperate and intense.
And I like episodes where Meowth plays a part in coming to the aid of those in need, reluctant or not.

I know the Steelix was only destroying/terrorising stuff because of the shovels causing it pain, but it still came across as a total prick. I don't really have any reason for feeling that way...it's just one of those 'I just did' situations I suppose.

Also, Shimura is really improving as of late. OK, her drawing style is, more often than not, bland as hell, but the animation itself has been really quite slick during certain moments. Muku.BIRD's whole scene, for example, was handled rather well, especially when it used Aerial Ace. Hopefully she can keep it up~

This episode was pretty good. It was good to see a Bidoof which was pretty cool. The head Bidoof sounded weird compared to the other Bidoof. It was pretty funny when James mentioned that Steelix was gone, but was right in front of them. I found it odd that Steelix went on a rampage just cuz it had a few shovels in his head. IMO, this was one of the few episodes that showed how smart Dawn is (not that I’m saying that she isn’t) when she said to lure Steelix into the pit. It was hilarious when Dawn suggested that Meowth be the decoy for luring Steelix.

70% of the Serebii population uses ultra powerful legendaries(also known as ubers) in their teams.
If you are one of the 30% that thinks outside the box
and doesn't use ubers, copy and paste this into your signature! (^started by SapphireL!)

I like the fact that they mentioned aspirin in a kids show, twice no less. I found it odd how Dawn said that Steelix was ALWAYS weak to water when it isn't, maybe they mistook that Steel type attacks are not very effective against water types. Or they didn't want to say Steelix could drown or something, or maybe I'm crazy.

The whole time I kept thinking why did'nt essie use Wobbuffet's Counter on any of those Hyper Beams....BOOM!!!!! Steelix you be at the mercy of her pokeball and it would have been hers.
(The IRON SNAKE pokemon, snakes go with Jessie. I would have liked her to catch such a powerful pokemon.)

OBJECTION!

Water is neutral against Steel. Steelix is Steel/Ground, thus weak to Bubblebeam.

This episode was pretty good. Seeing the gender differences between the Bidoofs was interesting. And there were several funny parts - like Meowth being suggested as the 'bait'.
Just wondering... Do wild Steelixs exist in the games? Sure, this is anime, so it can be different from the games, but I didn't hear about any wild Steelix so far...

A really good episode, plenty of pokémon and the Bidoof were great, I loved how they each had an individual voice, rather than sounding so similar, especially the 'chief' Bidoof, who sounded tougher than the rest.

The things that I think would have made this better would have been:

A. The 'chief' being a Bibarel, I dunno, I just think it would have made for a more interesting episode

B. Brock capturing the Bidoof he helped, I dunno why, I just think something like a Bidoof would have suited him to a tee, even with Croagunk quite fresh under his belt

Again, enjoyable, nice to see a Johto pokémon making a return, especially one with such a bad-ass attitude as Steelix.

Well prior to the 4th generation, there were no wild Steelix in the games. But in DP there are wild Steelix in that Iron Island place and Victory Road.

I wasnt so bothered about this episode so i didnt really watch it. But saying that I did catch the last 15 minutes and it wasnt that bad but I have seen better episodes. I liked the bidoof though and the steelix looked cool as well ^_^
